              Next step - change headlight switch to euro with front and rear fog lights and install front fog lights.
              Ordered from e-bay and waiting for arrival.
              Old headlight switch - a little bit worn :



              New one ordered for $33.00 :



              Fog lights also ordered for $56.00 :

                  I find the fuel consumption shown on the mfd is about 0.8-0.9l/100km too optimistic. A bit annoying really. It also means the km per tank is pretty optimistic.

                    Hey VW VR6 you do know that the dashboard pad is actually covering the passenger airbag partially up?

                      Yep I know but I need to move a little bit towards windscreen and put some sticky staff around because old sticky staff is loosing and dashboard mat is moving. But thanks for that info. I like when people looking for safety staff not only how they look like. Well done mate - you have BIG PLUS for that comment.

                        I know but i still have full tank after 100 km driving. And I am still happy compare with Holden or Ford 6 cylinder.

                          Car looks good mate, I'm spewing I missed on a dark grey one
                          In regards to the foglights I suggest you purchase this

                          VW GOLF JETTA MK5 MK6 PASSAT B6 CC FOG LAMP LIGHT WIRING HARNESS KIT - 9006 | eBay

                          the foglight wiring with the ones you purchased is a on/off switch like a lamp, this wiring kit allows you to take advantage of the euro switch. Trust me I went through it all
